Augur Mobile
Augur Mobile is a line of custom native apps, built by SimpleApps for Prophet 21 distributors. Each one is made for a specific job, not pulled off a shelf: one might be a mobile commerce app that runs alongside the web store, another a tool for the warehouse and the field. Either way, it puts P21 within reach on a phone or tablet, on the same integration layer as our websites, so what it reads and writes stays in step with P21.
Built for the job
There is no standard feature set. These are some of the jobs an app might take on.
Mobile commerce
A shopping and reorder app that runs alongside the web store, on the same customer pricing.
Barcode scanning
Scan an item at receiving, the counter, or the shelf to look it up, add it to an order, or count it.
Item lookup
An item's price and on-hand across every branch, from anywhere on the floor.
Stock counts
Physical and cycle counts on a phone or tablet, no clipboard, with results going back into Prophet 21 for review.
Order entry
Take an order on the spot, on real customer pricing, from the counter or the field.
Rep ordering
Outside reps place orders as a customer through impersonation, with that account's pricing and limits.
Receiving
Check in a purchase order against what arrived, and flag what does not match.
Offline
Keep scanning and counting where the signal drops, then sync when the connection is back.
Built on our integration layer
Every app runs on Augur Microservices, the integration layer behind our websites and custom sites, and stays in sync with P21 whether Prophet 21 runs on-prem or in the Epicor Cloud. Most of what an app does runs on our own APIs, so the Prophet 21 APIs are not required. A few features that write back into Prophet 21, such as cycle counts and receiving, use the Prophet 21 APIs and need them in place.
We build it, and keep it running
We build the whole app with React Native, so a single build runs on iPhone and Android. We publish and maintain it in the App Store and Google Play, and keep it working as P21 and the app platforms change. Or, if a distributor has their own app developer, that developer can build on the same Augur Microservices APIs we do.
